With just four ingredients — white chocolate, almonds, coconut, and crispy rice cereal — you get a sweet, crunchy, melty treat that tastes like a cross between a candy cluster and a snowball cookie. Made right in the slow cooker, they’re perfect for Christmas tins, parties, gifting, or late-night nibbling.
Ingredients
- 2 (12 oz) bags white chocolate chips
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 1 ½ cups shredded coconut
- 1 ½ cups Rice Krispie cereal
Preparation
- Melt the chocolate:
Add white chocolate chips to the slow cooker and turn heat to LOW. Cook for 30 minutes, stir, then continue cooking another 15–20 minutes until fully melted and smooth. - Add mix-ins:
Stir in slivered almonds, shredded coconut, and Rice Krispie cereal until everything is evenly coated in white chocolate. - Keep warm for scooping:
Keep the slow cooker on LOW while you scoop to prevent the mixture from hardening. - Shape the snowballs:
Use a greased cookie scoop (or spoon) to drop portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or cutting board. - Cool and store:
Let snowballs cool completely at room temperature. Once set, transfer to an airtight container.
Storage
- Room Temperature: Keeps 5–7 days in an airtight container
- Refrigerator: Stays fresh up to 2 weeks
- Freezer: Freeze up to 2 months; thaw at room temp before serving
